I saw the sky (enviroments wip)

[spartan118]

I SAW THE SKY is a short animated film that I've working for a couple of months now, its about a world where the is sky blacked out and the sun never shines.. the main character (Lisa) is a young girl who dies after being imprisoned by strange human like creatures that destroyed the cities of the earth and imprisoned all humanity, she is then resurrected after a couple of decades... and the rest you will find out.

This is the environment is from the first scene called Final Exit, its just a small part of a huge city at street level, the city is going to be destroyed in the first part of the animation. She is going to be walking through this street right at the beginning but Im not satisfied with its current look and need to improve on it. I'm going to add some flying vehicles people on the streets like seen below and so on. If you have any ideas of what else can in improve please feel free to suggest.

This is Lisa the main character. I'm using vray by the way.



This is where the original idea for the for the enviroment came from, its an old WIP of mine and the full city will look a bit like this.

[spartan118]

I think I'll make the city a bit more sci fi, I'll post updates and a storyboard for the city scene soon.

This is a story board for scene1 I had done a room before but I've decided to redo it so I'll work on that first before continuing the city... the room is from fig 1 to 9. Its pretty empty right now so I'm gonna add some stuff in it (girl stuff) but need some ideas over that.

I don't really know anything about interior lighting, so if anyone has here advice over this please help, right now I'm using 3 MR Omni lights... the seemed to light the character best. I tried vray lights at first but that didnt go too well.









This is how the character is lit up.
and how the character is lit

Here's what iv got so far, I'm trying to give the room a bit of character... Lightings the big problem here,.. the animation is dark but I'm arguing with myself about whether to light up room or give a dark feeling... the main character isn't exactly a very happy person so dark room would fit her personality better... if I go for dark what I'll need some good colors for the lights, ive look at some refs but this is where I mainly want some help so plz

Taken a bit of a break from the room, working in the city, which is also gonna be showing just outside the room, i placed some low res buildings randomly around the city and used greeble for the lower buildings, I'm about to start working on some high res, more unique models now

[spartan118]
